Good morning, time travelers. We’re headed back to the early sixties today with ‘The Original Sixties Rotation’ EP, and we’ve also got some rare ‘live’ Hendrix.
Here’s your musical lineup:

4:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Late For The Sky by Jackson Browne
Jackson Browne’s Late For The Sky, his third studio album, is the first album in our ‘Happy 50th Birthday’ series of albums to open up the new year.
7:00 p.m. Jimi Hendrix Live in Maui, Hawaii, July 30, 1970 NEW!
Yes, there’s no venue in the title because this show was held on a farm on the lower slope of the Haleakala volcano on a makeshift stage. The only audience were a few hundred Maui residents who heard the show was happening and showed up. These folks got to see a rare, little-known Hendrix performance. There’s a long story behind how this show came about and why it was so “secret” to begin with. It’s explained here much better than I could ever manage.
Another day dawns here in The Mermaid Lounge, and it marks the final opening shift of my week. The Music Mermaid is fully in control and, as you know, she has impeccable taste in music. You are in good hands.
